Answer: She can make 9 steps from the rope.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The width of each step of the ladder = [tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ feet}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{2(3)+1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}\text{ feet}[/tex]
The length of the rope = 21 feet
Then , the number of required steps = ( length of the rope ) ÷ (width of each step of the ladder)
[tex]=21\div\dfrac{7}{3}[/tex]
[tex]=21\times\dfrac{3}{7}=3\times3=9[/tex]
Hence, the number of steps can she make from the rope = 9.
